A few months ago I saw that @neilhimself (and some friends of mine) was coming to #ReykjavikNoir. I got tickets fully intending to read books by authors attending. Then I bought a new apartment and moved. Constant work for three months now. Today I went to get my armband and felt guilty that I have read nothing.
BTW. Every time I am around tourists in Iceland I have the urge to tell them about my podcast. I could just wear a #StoriesOfIceland shirts all the time but that feels a bit vain.
I do repeat the warning against trying shark again. Hopefully the signing will go smoothly so I can say hi. You signed American Gods for me in Stockholm but I haven't decided which I'll bring to you this time. Not the Absolute Sandman volumes though.
Today's #TeachWorldHistory image was from Giovanni Sercambi’s chronicle of his hometown of Lucca. This image reflects an experience of the Second Plague Pandemic. It provided an entry into discussing limits of sources, as opposed to their biases. Sercambi's illustration tells us how people thought of plague, but not how plague spread.
I put together an AP-style DBQ for my #TeachWorldHistory class last week using some of the plague sources. Just added it to a page with presentation I did on teaching the Second Plague Pandemic.
Hi, folks! I just joined Archaeo.social because I'm an archaeologist, although I see little archaeological content in the posts. I hope that's not a permanent condition. Look forward to seeing more from the group.
@Nohoch_Ol Archaeo should be a majority. In fact, that's why I check in periodically.
Look at "Live feeds", "This server" (the default). https://archaeo.social/public/local
^ Every post as it's created. Block/mute to reduce chatty accounts/bots you're not interested in.
"Explore" presents stuff from anywhere that's popular with folks on your instance.
Or follow a.gup.pe group accounts: bots that boost any public posts mentioning em. Somewhat like following a tag. Except they CAN go in lists. @archaeodons @antiquidons
Hallo, ich bin #neuhier und werde wohl vor allem zum Phantastischen, Nächtlichen und Dämonischen in Literatur und Kultur des 19. Jahrhunderts posten. Vielleicht finden sich hier ja ein paar Leute, die meine Begeisterung dafür teilen ... 😊 #Phantastik#Literatur
Zur Einstimmung schon mal ein Gemälde von Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, "Burg Scharfenberg bei Nacht", aus dem Jahr 1827.
Same procedure as every year…jetzt auch auf Mastodon! Es ist Zeit für das berühmte Open-History #histowichteln.

I thought I'd posted here with my latest chapter of "Skirmishes and Schisms" on #WorldAnvil.
Chapter 7 is out, and as Klor'asq finally meets those who thought he needed freeing, Ferrfeiss wonders if all the heartache and effort had been for nothing.
@neilhimself That's not something I'd thought about, but I can look into it, thanks. I don't drive due to chronic pain and live in the middle of nowhere, but maybe virtual groups exist.
Ik dacht altijd dat ‘you’ in het Engels hetzelfde is als ‘jij’, maar nu lees ik (in een boek van Lydia Rood) dat dat vroeger juist de beleefdheidsvorm was naast ‘thou’, dat is verdwenen, behalve in het Schotse dialect. #taal
@fifischwarz@lalage@schoudaan@boeken Ik ben verbaasd over de overeenkomst met het Nederlands . En ook weer niet. Vast van voor de invloed van de Franse taal.
"But Kay’s situation is also unusual: For one, she sued the Rover for defamation. And documents made public recently as part of the lawsuit point the finger at not just the student publication but others at the university. The documents suggest that Notre Dame students, faculty, and alumni worked behind the scenes to amplify Kay’s statements and draw public outrage."
"We are seeking funds to offset the additional costs of Prof Kay’s lawsuit against the Irish Rover, and for costs to ensure her safety and security as she continues to try to ensure that academic freedom and safety are prioritized not only for herself but for all Notre Dame faculty, staff and students."
